As you might know, Canadian R6/R1 bikes are similar to Euro bikes in that they have the immobilizer/chipped key, etc. So information obtained here can be applied to our bikes as well.
I primarily came here because of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2493" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I flash lots of bikes (with flash-tune hardware) and have recently started getting a lot of bikes get Code 39 when they are running bazzaz (with quick shift or traction control). I've been looking everywhere for a fix and apparently it can be cleared in dealer mode (or possibly by the new version of the flash tune software).
Anyway, I own a 2007 Yamaha R1. I crashed it on Tuesday so am currently working on rebuilding it:

Woot woot! Bike rebuild is a success!!! At least it's track capable, not street legal yet
Ride report from my first ride since my Calabogie crash!
Installed new Brembo RCS 19 MC, bracket, fluid reservoir, etc.! Came with a single and double banjo and a ton of crush washers, and good thing too, I needed the double banjo (cause I got dual lines) and I ended up needing the extra crush washers too More on that in a bit...
Got it all installed at the track (TMP/Cayuga) during the hurricane on the night of Friday, July 19th.
Kept getting rain in the fluid reservoir so I went through quite a bit of brake fluid draining the system and starting over a few times.
I couldn't get it to pump ANY brake fluid at first, trying to bleed the lines/calipers, then noticed a bleed nipple on the master cylinder, worked much better after bleeding that! lol. Bled the lines/calipers (using the single person water bottle method) and it felt pretty nice!
One of my friends came over and said "feels pretty mushy for a brembo, did you bleed the master cylinder AGAIN after bleeding the lines/calipers?" ummm, well, no I didn't, LOL Bled the master again, much better but still a hair mushy. He zip tied my lever half way to the bar and we left it like that overnight. In the morning I noticed a bunch of little bubbles on the top of my fluid reservoir and I cut the zip tie then BOOM, rock solid lever.
My bike failed tech in the morning because there was trails of brake fluid on the right side of my BACK tire (onto the tread part too) Turns out my banjo on my rear caliper was leaking and dripping brake fluid onto the inside of my rim. I tried to retorque it but still leaked, so lucky for the extra crush washers in the brembo box!!! Swapped the crush washers, torqued the banjo bolt, no more leaking. Filled her up, bled em... and I thought bleeding the brembo was annoying, lol Then I used brake cleaner to get all the brake fluid off my tire!!
My first trip down the front straight I grabbed the brakes with all four fingers like I used to do with my stock brakes, big mistake. Instantly locked up the front tire Because it was my out lap (on cold slicks) I wasn't going very fast so I was able to let go of the brakes and squeeze them much lighter and still make turn 1 Super happy I didn't crash on my first lap riding since my Calabogie crash!!!
Brakes worked great all day after switching to single finger braking!! So easy to lift the rear tire, had to go easy because the rear end danced a bit left and right when I got on the brakes hard, not sure if that's normal but felt a little freaky.
One of my fast laps (1:24, exactly same lap time as before I had my crash! YAY! Sorry bout the foggy gopro)

Thanks It did get a little windy over 200kph but other than that it felt pretty good!
I was pushing extra hard because I figured, hell, if I dump it no plastic, dash, headlights to destroy! Then I thought about my new brembo setup, so I figured, ok, only push hard on the left hand corners so if I low side the brembo will survive unscratched lol.
More on that in a bit...
